È il 1949 e Londra guarda con fiducia alla ripresa economica del dopoguerra. In Lamb's Conduit Street, nel centro della città, la libreria Bloomsbury sembra ancorata saldamente al passato: gestita con piglio severo e conservatore dal direttore Herbert Dutton, è organizzata secondo cinquantuno regole inviolabili e una gestione tutta al maschile che non dà alcuno spazio alle tre straordinarie commesse che ci lavorano.

Waldo ist gierig. Notgeil. Direkt. Naiv. Weise. Impulsiv. Einsam. Wütend. Stark. Verletzt. Clever. Sie will so unendlich viel, und das, was sie am meisten will, ist: Mr. Korgy, ihren Lehrer für kreatives Schreiben, mit Frau und Kind, mit der Hypothek und den Rechnungen, mit den toten Träumen, der verblassten Attraktivität und dem immer größer werdenden Bäuchlein. Sie weiß nicht, warum sie ihn will. Ist es seine Leidenschaft? Seine Lebenserfahrung? Die Tatsache, dass er Bücher und Filme und Dinge kennt, die sie nicht kennt?

Jennette McCurdy was zes jaar oud toen ze haar eerste acteerauditie deed. Het was haar moeders droom dat haar enige dochter een ster zou worden, en Jennette had er alles voor over om haar moeder gelukkig te maken. Als de droom eindelijk uitkomt en ze wordt gecast voor de nieuwe Nickelodeon-serie iCarly is haar moeder extatisch, maar wordt Jennette overspoeld door angst, schaamte en zelfhaat, wat zich uiteindelijk vertaalt in eetstoornissen, verslaving en een hoop ongezonde relaties.

Jennette McCurdy erzählt herzergreifend und mit bitterem Humor von ihrem traumatischen Leben als ehemaliger Kinder-Star in "iCarly" und der krankhaften Beziehung zu ihrer Mutter.

Das einzige, was Debra sich für ihre Tochter – aber vor allem für sich selbst – wünscht, ist Jennettes Erfolg als Fernseh-Star. Für Jennette beginnt ein Kreislauf aus Castings, Angstattacken und Selbsthass.
